VSH [VSH] Rats Saxy Reworked V2

[Dayornight]

Rats Saxy Reworked - Revised Saxton Hale map including a main indoors area with a medium sized outside area.

I quite enjoyed the Rats Saxy map, but thought it could use some textures, props and (definitely) some cleaning. So for the past 2 days I've been revamping this whole map and this is the result.

It's also my first remake so don't go too hard on me, haha.

I'll try to keep it up to date so any feedback is definitely welcome!
